Population Pharmacokinetic Model for Ertugliflozin in Healthy Subjects and Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

ABSTRACT: Ertugliflozin is a selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor approved as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A population pharmacokinetic (popPK) model was developed to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ertugliflozin and quantify the influence of intrinsic (eg, body weight, age, sex, race, estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], T2DM) and extrinsic (eg, food) covariates on the PK parameters of ertugliflozin. The analysis was conducted using data from 15 clinical studies (phases 1-3) enrolling healthy subjects and patients with T2DM, which included 13,691 PK observations from 2276 subjects and was performed using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling. A 2-compartment popPK model with first-order absorption and a lag time and first-order elimination, described the plasma concentration-time profile of ertugliflozin after single and multiple dosing in healthy subjects and in patients with T2DM. Apparent clearance increased with increasing body weight and eGFR, was slightly lower in patients with T2DM and females, and was slightly higher in Asians. Apparent central volume of distribution increased with increasing body weight and was higher in females and Asians. Administration of ertugliflozin with food decreased the absorption rate constant (k_a ) and relative bioavailability (F1) compared with fasted. When ertugliflozin was administered without regard to food, estimates of k_a and F1 were similar to those for administration with food. The popPK model successfully characterized ertugliflozin exposure in healthy subjects and patients with T2DM. None of the covariates evaluated had a clinically relevant effect on ertugliflozin PK.

Project description:Background and objectivesDorzagliatin is a first-in-class small molecule glucokinase activator (GKA) that improves pancreatic insulin secretion behavior and regulates hepatic glucose conversion in a glucose concentration-dependent manner. The primary objective of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic model of dorzagliatin to evaluate the influence of covariates, such as demographic characteristics and liver and kidney function, on the pharmacokinetics of dorzagliatin and provide a basis for medication guidance.MethodThe pharmacokinetic data of dorzagliatin in this study came from six clinical trials. Based on the combined data, a population pharmacokinetic model of dorzagliatin was established using NONMEM software (ICON, MD, USA, version 7.4.3). The algorithm used was first-order conditional estimation with interaction (FOCEI). The dorzagliatin population pharmacokinetic modeling analysis included 1062 subjects and 7686 observable concentrations. Covariates, including age (AGE), sex (GEND), body weight (TBW), body mass index (BMI), body surface area (BSA), albumin (ALB), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), serum creatinine (CR), creatinine clearance (CRCL), and total bilirubin (TBIL), were screened using the forward-backward method. Model evaluation was performed using goodness-of-fit plots, prediction corrected visual prediction check (pcVPC), and bootstrap.ResultsConcentration data of dorzagliatin in the dose range were best characterized by a two-compartment model with sequential zero-order then first-order absorption and first-order elimination. The final model estimated dorzagliatin data for typical male subjects (69 kg body weight, 18 U/L AST and 55 years old); the apparent total clearance (CL/F) was 10.4 L/h, apparent volume of central compartment distribution (Vc/F) was 80.6 L, inter-compartmental clearance (Q/F) was 3.02 L/h, apparent volume of peripheral compartment distribution (Vp/F) was 26.5 L, absorption rate constant (Ka) was 3.29 h-1, and duration of zero-order absorption (D1) was 0.418 h. The inter-individual variation of CL/F, Vc/F, Vp/F, and D1 was 22.5%, 14.9%, 48.8%, and 82.8%, respectively.ConclusionThe two-compartment linear pharmacokinetic model with zero- and first-order sequential absorption adequately described the pharmacokinetic characteristics of dorzagliatin. Body weight, aspartate aminotransferase, and age had a statistically significant effect on the CL/F of dorzagliatin. Body weight and sex had a statistically significant effect on Vc/F. However, considering the clinically insignificant changes in the magnitude of steady-state exposure caused by these covariates, as well as the minimal changes in the steady-state exposure for individuals with mild and moderate impaired hepatic function and all stages of renal impairment, dose adjustments based on the tested covariates or for specific populations are deemed unnecessary.
